  • Adults-only touring park in Great Bourton, three miles from Banbury
  • Oxford, Blenheim Palace and Silverstone within a 45-minute drive
  • Spacious hardstanding pitches with off-lead dog-walking area
Perhaps you’re looking for somewhere to park up overnight when travelling on the M40 – or maybe it’s about finding a handy base for exploring the Oxfordshire countryside and the northern part of the Cotswolds National Landscape. Either way, Barnstones Caravan Site makes a great choice for a peaceful break at an adults-only touring site. This peaceful and attractive site is in the pretty village of Great Bourton, about two miles from Banbury (a useful source of shops and places to eat) and three miles from Junction 11 of the M40. That handy location puts it within easy reach of all sorts of attractions, including Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Blenheim Palace, Silverstone and Bicester Village as well as the lovely walks and cute towns of the Cotswolds. The spacious hardstanding pitches all have electric hook-up and a grass space that’s just right for an awning and a couple of camping chairs. The site has been nicely landscaped with lots of mature trees and plants, and it’s also got a good range of essential facilities including a high-quality amenities block with a launderette, washing-up area, toilets and free hot showers. There’s also a chemical disposal point and a wifi service (extra charge) along with a designated dog-walking area where your four-legged pal can have a good run around off lead.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Visited 6th to 8th Nov 2026

This site is close to the M40 for those that are looking for a stop on longer trips. The site is well layout, with two sites within one, I was on the site to the left as you go in the main gate. I would imaging those closer to the main road on the site to the right may have some road noise. However I did not hear any during my stay, The site facilities are very good. They have good washing up areas with hot water, Toilets and Showers which are very clean at all times.
The site was busy even in Nov, we where on hardstanding and close to the facilities which was handy. There is a coded gate to get in which is good, Pitch sizes are good but you do feel a little crammed in and i don't understand why as the site is large. Maybe its just me and I am being picky here and as you can see it would not put me off coming back here.
There is a bus stop just outside the site, with busses in to Banbury (closest town) and the site is in a good area to visit lots of the local attractions.
We like to walk so there are some good footpaths close by that take you to the local villages. We walked the 2 miles in to Cropredy (mostly flat), there is a beautiful craft centre in the Old Coal Wharf which is worth a visit, it has a café lots of shops/huts and a drinks huts that sell beer wine etc. From here you can get on the Birmingham to Oxford canal so you can walk as long as you like.
The Red Lion Pub in Cropredy is also not far from that site, its an old fashion pub that serves good beer and good conversation.

Disliked Nothing I can think off, Wifi is £6 for 24hours but that is for up to 10 devices

Local attractions

This area is particularly well supplied with grand country estates – Blenheim Palace (40 minutes’ drive) is probably the most famous, but other local spots like Broughton Castle (15 minutes) and Sulgrave Manor (20 minutes) are also well worth visiting. They’ve all got lovely grounds and gardens to explore too, but if you’d rather focus on the horticulture you may like to consider Thenford Gardens & Arboretum (15 minutes). Touring the Cotswolds National Landscape might take you to pretty towns and villages like Stow-on-the-Wold (45 minutes), Bourton-on-the-Water and Burford (both 50 minutes) or to attractions like the Rollright Stones (half an hour) or Diddly Squat Farm Shop (40 minutes). Tours at Hook Norton Brewery (25 minutes) or the Cotswolds Distillery Visitor Centre (half an hour) might also be on the cards. For other days out, try the British Motor Museum (20 minutes), the outlet shops of Bicester Village (half an hour), speedy races at Silverstone Circuit (half an hour) or the gorgeous colleges and museums of Oxford (45 minutes).
